A group of African civil society advocates have appealed to the United Nations (UN) to take immediate action to prevent looming genocide in Ethiopia.
In a joint statement signed by 34 civic organisations and 31 activists from across the continent, they warned that the ongoing conflict in Ethiopia might lead to mass deaths if not handled amicably.
